Brought forth from the nether-world by the Nazis during an ill-fated ritual in the final days of World War II, our unlikely demon hero (Ron Perlman) is raised by Prof. Trevor "Broom" Bruttenholm (John Hurt), an expert on the occult and member of a secret US government agency dedicated to paranormal research. As if finding his place in the world and among his fellow "freaks" weren't complicated enough for the gigantic red-skinned demon, he must also contend with the return of old enemies and the ancient evils they plan to unleash, a love triangle, and imperiled kittens!Come see this richly detailed visualization inspired from the Hellboy graphic novels by creator Mike Mignola... and don't forget to read the books and come prepared for the Q&A after the screening.

Mission statement

The H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival ® & CthulhuCon™ promotes the works of H.P. Lovecraft, literary horror, and Weird tales through cinematic adaptations by professional and independent filmmakers, as well special event, book signings and author readings, panel discussions, musical performances, and much more. The festival was founded in 1995 by Andrew Migliore in the hope that H.P. Lovecraft would be rightly recognized as a master of gothic horror and his work more faithfully adapted to film and television.
